Step 1: Materials Needed

Step 2: Deconstruct, Cut, and Sew

Deconstruct the pants - keeping the largest amount of fabric possible. Use scissors to cut apart the major seams. Remove and either discard, or save for another project, the lining, buttons, and zipper.

These were size 16 pants - I cut two 7" x 32" and one 7" x 28" strips of fabric (there were holes - maybe moth holes? - which obviously limited the amount of available fabric).

Zigzag the three strips of fabric together to create one long piece of material / scarf.

Step 3: Add ImPRESSionalbe Fun Objects!

I added marbles, beads, and keyboard tiles to the each edge of the scarf with rubber bands. Anything can be added - and actually throughout the entire length of the scarf if you so choose -- be creative!

I strived to be consistent - but, what the heck, it doesn't matter! Have fun!

Step 4: Wash and Dry (Felt)

Wash the fabric with detergent in hot water in your washing machine to "felt" the wool. Dry the fabric in the dryer on your low setting. I place the item to be felted in a pillowcase and tie the pillowcase closed with a knot. If the fabric comes out a bit wrinkled, iron on the wrong side with a press cloth; use steam and the wool setting.

Step 5: Ta-Da

Yeah! All done! Remove rubber bands and objects - may need ironing.

Very impressionable - right! The impressions are there to stay - they have been felted.

Optional enhancements: cut a wavy edge around the length of scarf and/or cut out circles in scarf (won't ravel as it is wool!).
